[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A suggestion for the MIL, pick a destination somewhere between, say 4-6 hour drive for each of you. Rent a 3-br condo (one for you & spouse, one for kids, one for MIL & spouse) for anywhere from 3-6 days and spend the time together. If you're paying for the condo and bringing her grandchildren, she should be up for just driving half the distance to you. From the sounds of it, you'd have to pay for lodging near her anyways, and if you pick a less expensive destination, then you might be able to break even on a larger place/condo that would cost close to what you'd have to pay for a hotel 30 minutes from her. My wife has an out-of-town specialist surgeon where we've traveled many times. For some of the surgeries, my MIL has wanted to come along. I've found that sometimes the two bedroom Residence Inn suites are cheaper than getting two separate hotel rooms, plus we get a living room and kitchen and so when my wife is recovering from surgery, I can cook in and she doesn't have to leave the room. It's not luxurious, but it is comfortable. As an example, if she lives in Florida or Georgia, then meet in the Carolinas somewhere. [/quote] Since you said rural Tennessee (saw it after I posted the above), try Roanoke or Winstem-Salem as a nice mid-way point to meet.[/quote]
